The Seventy Eighth Annual Session and Symposium on "Novel Approaches for Bio-medical Research" November 21-23, 2008, is being organized by Panjab University, Chandigarh. The world is now witnessing a rapid change in the way biomedical research is being conducted. The developing countries are in the grip of formidable challenges posed by the existing communicable diseases coupled with new emerging infections. On the positive side, rapid advances in science and technology have brought in new technologies to understand the disease process and find strategies for prevention and cure. There are areas at the cutting edge of science such as molecular medicine, genomics, immunology, which have revolutionized knowledge for finding rapid diagnostics, vaccines, new drug targets and other therapeutic measures. There is an urgent need that researchers working in the core health sectors like diagnostics, epidemiology, surveillance and cure are exposed to the latest advancements in knowledge and interact with international scientists in their respective field of work.
